Abstract
Background: Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been shown to be a safe and effective method for lowering intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma. This study aims to analyze research trends in glaucoma management using SLT through a bibliometric analysis.
Methods: The data for the study were gathered from the Web of Science Core Collection. We employed VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) to analyze and visualize information concerning countries, institutions, journals, and co-cited journals, journal co-citations, funding agencies, and keywords.
Results: As of November 2024, a total of 386 original and review articles were included. The USA had the highest number of relevant publications, totaling 129. The University of Hong Kong was the leading institution with 15 publications. The Journal of Glaucoma (IF = 2.0) ranked first with 58 articles published and being the most cited journal. The United States Department of Health and Human Services was the top funding institution. The most frequently used keywords, in descending order, were "selective laser trabeculoplasty," "glaucoma," "intraocular pressure," "ocular hypertension," and "open-angle glaucoma."
Conclusion: The research demonstrates SLT efficacy in reducing intraocular pressure and controlling open-angle glaucoma as a non-invasive therapeutic alternative to eye drops. This thorough overview provides important insights and highlights existing research trends.
背景:选择性激光小梁成形术是一种安全有效的治疗开角型青光眼的方法。本研究旨在通过文献计量学分析分析SLT治疗青光眼的研究趋势。方法:本研究数据来源于Web of Science Core Collection。我们使用VOSviewer (version 1.6.18)对国家、机构、期刊、共被引期刊、期刊共被引、资助机构和关键词等信息进行分析和可视化。结果:截至2024年11月,共纳入原创和综述文章386篇。美国的相关论文数量最多,共计129篇。香港大学排名第一,发表了15篇论文。《青光眼杂志》(Journal of Glaucoma, IF = 2.0)以58篇论文排名第一,是被引次数最多的期刊。美国卫生与公众服务部是最大的资助机构。最常用的关键词按降序排列是“选择性激光小梁成形术”、“青光眼”、“眼压”、“高眼压”和“开角型青光眼”。结论:SLT作为一种替代滴眼液的无创治疗方法,具有降低眼压和控制开角型青光眼的疗效。这一全面的概述提供了重要的见解,并突出了现有的研究趋势。
